Current Projects

  • Gabriel Creek Watershed Management Plan - As of August 1, 2007 the Morgan County Soil and Water Conservation District has started a new watershed project. The goal of this project is to promote the concept of watershed planning at a local level and establish alliances among stakeholders to build relationships among all parties involved in the protection of  Gabriel and Haw Creek Watersheds, and to increase awareness of water quality.                                                                   This project will span over 4 years from August 1, 2007 until July 31, 2011. The watershed project has been approved for a grant totaling $101,870 to be spread over the four years.  Colby Bestgen has been hired as the Project Coordinator for this project and will be meeting with landowners in the targeted watersheds.
